Two Certificates of Excellence

Loose not End (exert)

To lose or not to lose,
That is the question that’s not a ruse.

Failing to achieve your goals
Can be a piercing knife to souls

That fall into depression if their
Goals are delayed or failed, their flair

Is indomitable in its will to overcome obstacles
That bend your will, but it’s never broken or stills.

Betrayal (exert)

Of my country and of my family
I have little to say, except that funny
Interactions are not always sunny …

A country’s politics and sense of justice
Can disappoint. Its favor is sandy grace
That’s gritty, scratchy, and hurts in place
Of unity that proves our solidarity in face

Of torment, terror, injustice, that train
Citizens in complacency that will rain
Upon them death, disillusionment that fain
A reality that exists in dreams that are slain.

Certificate of Excellence, Quick… Loss

Quick … Loss

Exert

Loss and death are as quick as breath.
Run and hide trying to evade its breadth.
I look upon its specter as I hold my breath.

Loss and death are as old as millenia.
Run and hide, as time is never vanilla,
But a manila cover in which to hide sista.

Loss and death are as varied as a bow.
Run and hide, and never stay in a row,
That keeps you stuck in a silent blow. …

Share it

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

Without having someone share in the joy of the news, it falls flat and becomes irrelevant. The second thing I’d do is thank God for His help in achieving my goal, news.

Certificate of Excellence, My Love

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate, understanding In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.

Triple Silver Certificate, Strawberry Moon

Strawberry Moon

The strawberry moon lights the night
Sky, with its radiance that illuminates
The bridge, as though a spotlight
Is placed on its center that highlights

Its empty, serene wonder,
That transcends time and place
To amaze you with its purposeful power
That helps nature become alive in a thrice

As you watch the moonbeams
Caress and hover across the verdant
Trees, bushes whose beourgeoning leaves
Are bathed in its heavenly glow, brilliant

In its choices of a scene out of a
Painter’s portait of the beauty nature hides.

Certificate of excellence, Cupid’s Valentine

Cupid’s Valentine

The month of love and adoration
Is the shortest one of all!
Not all happiness can be packed into its summation,
Short, though it is, its effects are a ball!

In its center, couples celebrate their love,
As if you only praise your unity, then!
And every other day falls short of its possessive
Hold on your cheery life filled only with a pen.

The one you use to organize your life,
Strategize your next goal, perfect compassion
That leads to compromise and less strife,
While dissent and enmity to envy’s fashion.

Duty and love are two sides of a coin,
Where duty can choke the life out of veneration
As it stomps out the cheer from your conjoin.

Certificate of excellence, Overflowing Chalice

Overflowing Chalice

Choices, choices, how many do you make everyday?
Good choices, poor choices, which are the best in a fray?

Career choices at a young age,
Friendships good and bad, relegate all that’s a rage,

Pressure, peers, social, cultural, all turn an empty page
In a life that’s overwhelmed with questions of existence.

Run, run, run along,
Round, round you go all the way, longing, long,

Wishing there exists a preset solution
That facilitates life’s process for a decision.

The summation of all experiences create
A diverse stream in the chalice if inequity’s rate.

Depending on your perception and that of your kin,
The chalice overflows with a negatively skewed bin

That lowers your morale when all you need
Is for the chalice of injustice to be empty indeed.

Tennis

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

I used to love playing tennis before I had my bowl obstruction surgery. I had great technique, according to our trainer and my husband. I enjoyed playing the winning points that were geometric and corners of the court. I’d feel the need to pump up my arms in victory each time I’d win the point, especially if I’m playing against a very competitive soul who hates loosing!

Now, I’m relegated to only watching the game, either on TV or stadium, ad the game requires the use of abs that I’m not allowed to exercise for fear Of a return Of my condition. Still, while watching, I like to cheer the underdog and a great winning point!
